I used 3/8" o-rings on my M925A2 rims that I bought from Meyer's tire supply (Tire Tools, Supplies and Changers from Myers Tire Supply), they weren't listed on their website; however they had them on hand when I spoke to them directly. These particular o-rings work best without the lubricant or...

These are the same rims as my M925A2 has, I dropped the rim into the backside of the tire slowly to make sure the bead lock lines up and then turned the tire over carefully (holding onto the rim half) and then bolted the rim together. Found out that the O-ring would slip out if too much grease...

We made #6 fuel oil or bunker oil at the refinery years back, it was a blend of VTB (vacuum tower bottoms) and LCO (light cycle oil), it was black, very thick and viscous, had to keep it hot to pump it. Basically it was just thinned out tar, It has a high BTU value for burning in boilers or...

The 21SI alternator was from Spidermarine, link below. I also purchased the 8 groove serpentine pulley from them, it was not listed on their website. I had give them a WAI pulley part # and they crossed it over to their number of 208-12003 (sku # 113377). Pictures are the 2 different WAI...

I just finished installing a 21SI Delco style single wire 70amp alternator on my M925A2 with the 8.3L Cummins and single belt after the original 60 amp Leece Neville fried. Install was pretty easy, just had to put a slight notch in the upper factory bracket with a short spacer and lengthen the...

If they're A-3 rims with the bead locks in place, pressing down on the sidewalls with a deuce won't really help much even after all the nuts have been taken off. The use of a "duckbill" tire hammer & dishsoap as a lube like Wreckerman said works best to separate the upper rim half first, then...

I've got a red truck too, or at least the front half is until I decide what color or camo sceme to paint it. It was a former fuel tanker (M49A2C) that the DNR used as a tanker truck. Someone here may recognize it from somewhere else.

We make aviation turbine fuel (jet fuel) at work, it can also be sold as #1 fuel or kerosene. Jet fuel must be certified before it is shipped and gets a few extra tests. The newer kerosene is "ultra low sulfur" or ULSK, the more sulfur that is pulled out of the fuel, the more lubricity that it...

Just got through replacing the O-rings on the selector valve on the M818 as well as replacing the badly cracked hoses on the selector valve. The selector valve was by-passed before and only drawing from the left tank. I used the Parker brand "push-lock" 1/2" and 3/8" hose on the fittings and...

I too had went through this with GL using my credit/debit card after raising the limit on it at my bank. They tried several times to put it through only to tell me it was denied when no attempts were shown at my bank. Finally, someone at GL told me that they use the credit cards through Paypal...

I too had a bad blower motor on one of my A3's, checked the wiring first at the blower with a test light and seen that it had power at both settings. Pulled the motor and it was totally burnt and smoked. After checking with several vendors, I bought the NAPA 24V replacement blower motor #...

Here's a pic with the sides dropped, can't drive with the sides down due to them rubbing the tires. With the sides down it makes it handy to load with a fork truck.

FYI, high sulfur diesel (HSD) has > 500 ppm sulfur, low sulfur diesel (LSD) has < 500 ppm sulfur and Ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) has < 15 ppm sulfur. As more of the sulfur is removed, the lubricity goes down also. Usually off-road diesel that has no road tax is dyed red at a rate of 3.9 # per...

Does anyone know if 2530-01-398-3380 is the NSN # for the 20" A3 single wheels. Thanks, Rog

The ULSD that we make at the refinery I work at has a pour point ( lowest temperature at which the fuel can be pumped or poured) of < -35 deg. F. As long as your buying fuel at the pump that is usually also blended for winter with #1 fuel there should be no issues of gelling or freezing. You...

My first one will be at 120 days in 2 days from event # 5073, got a letter several weeks ago from BC saying that my paperwork was being reviewed. My second EUC cleared in 30 days, still don't know why or how a second EUC can clear before the first other than seperate divisions within BC. I get a...

My first EUC is at 90 days tomorrow for event 5073, my second EUC cleared in 30 days for event 5195. I called GL and asked why the first has not cleared and was told that the second EUC is always faster. I asked how I can have second EUC when I haven't got a first yet?? :-? I also had a...

Does anyone live near the "Lockbourne Ohio" GL facility? I had just received my "paid in full" invoice after only 30 days at BC. The shipping companies that GL lists want around $100 to pick up and ship a package that will be a 12" square box and weigh probably around 20 lbs. to the Chicago...

The French had a military vehicle called the SUMB (Simca Unic Marmon Bocqet) with a ford flathead V-8 and portal axles that is similiar to the Unimog. Found a link below with pics. FRENCH SUMB

Which one of these trucks did you win? They all looked to be very nice trucks in Peoria with very low hours & miles.
